Slide3UKCERH History
The enactment of Kentucky Senate Bill 239 initiated funding for the Center of Excellence in Rural Health to be located in Hazard.
The Center Serves as the federally designated Kentucky Office of Rural Health.
Established in 1990 to address health disparities in rural Kentucky

Operates 4 federal grant programs
State Office of Rural Health (SORH)
Kentucky State Loan Repayment Program (KSLRP)Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility Program (Flex)
Small Rural Hospital Improvement Program (SHIP)
Other initiatives:
The
Bridge Magazine
National Health Service Corps promotion (NHSC)
The mission of the KORH is to support the health and well-being of Kentuckians by promoting access to rural health services.
The KORH’s newest initiative uses supplemental Flex funding and is referred to as the
“Committed to the Heart” initiative.
Slide5Committed to the Heart
“Committed to the Heart Initiative” is the official name of the Flex supplemental funding project we will be talking about today.
This will be a 3-year project, funding was first received in September of 2019 and will continue through August of 2022. Our goal is to also make sure most of this project is sustainable afterwards.
Caleb Williams will be the project manager and point person for all things related to the project.
Slide6Committed to the Heart Goals:
Increase education on effective AED use.
Increase bystander CPR readiness at the community level.
Improve out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest survival rates, meaning, survived to discharge, among those CAH communities who are CARES (Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival) Medical Centers.
Slide7Committed to the Heart Activities:
Develop an internal plan to roll out CARES to 28 CAH communities within 27 counties and assist them with developing their own implementation plans
Determine how many public AEDs are listed on the National AED Registry and assist with registering unlisted devices and offer AED instruction at those locations as needed
Use CARES data to determine times and locations of ‘Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest’ events as well as which elements of the response system properly function
Complete an assessment on bystander readiness within the CAH communities and offer CPR classes where needed
Slide8Committed to the Heart
The “Committed to the Heart Initiative” will primarily focus on the 27 Kentucky counties with a CAH. There also could be an overlap into adjacent counties. We hope CARES will eventually be a statewide rollout to all EMS agencies and Hospitals in Kentucky.
